speak with your Demco rep first. I figured out the hard way, you save almost no money by trenching underground yourself. I did mine and they still charged me $900 just to run the wire and make the connections, they said it would have be $1000 if they had done the whole job. I spent $200 on the trencher and $200 on the conduit. You can schedule a meeting with them to discuss the path forward and the cost. Demco handles thing much differently than Entergy

Good advice.

Definitely get a price from Demco first.

As this poster states you're going to pay them to have to mobilize a crew anyway to pul the wire regardless.

Demco is one of the easier companies to deal with.

Dealing with Entergy is worse than dealing with the State government.
